Gantry cranes are essential for various mobile and lifting applications in industrial and construction environments. A reliable weighing system is crucial to ensure the crane can safely handle heavy containers or loads, preventing failures and accidents.
Interface offers a range of sensor options for crane weighing and overload protection systems. These systems assist operators by providing real-time total weight data, preventing overload situations.
Interface has decades of engineering expertise and experience delivering measurement solutions for these systems, which have been installed in all types of hoists and cranes, including overhead traveling cranes, construction cranes, infrastructure project cranes, shipyard and port cranes, as well as marine and offshore cranes.
Interface Wireless Load Pins are designed to directly replace existing load-bearing pins in a crane’s header block, providing a signal proportional to the measured load without requiring any modifications to the crane.
This allows the crane weighing and overload system to alert the operator of potential lifting hazards and assist with safe load management. Pre-set audible and visual alarms can also be integrated, along with triggers to shut down the crane if a lift exceeds the safe load limit.
For demanding environments such as oil rigs and floating production, storage, and offloading units (FPSOs), we can supply ATEX and IECEx-certified measurement sensors with both Explosion-Proof (Ex d) and Intrinsically Safe (Ex i) approvals.
Interface also offer below-hook solutions for situations where permanent installation is not required or where using a load measuring pin isn’t feasible.
